The Congregational festival last evening
was far more OF a success from a financial
standpoint than 1t was on the preceding
night, and at 8 o'clock more money had
been taken in than was realized the entire
first day aud evening. The programme
that had been arranged for last evening
was not carried out in full. Miss Sara
Frost recited THE Senator Entangled, >
and Miss Louise Kingsley sang a Deauti.
full solo and on being recalled sang No,
Sir, which elected a storm of applause.
Later in the evening there were othel
solos and recitations. The credit OF
making the affair such a success is in grear
part due to Mrs. j. d. Hopkins, presi
dent OF the Working Band, Mrs.
A. Underwood, Mrs. j. s. Taylor, Mrs
H. w. Holt, Miss Anne Stanley, Mrs
McCullom ard Others.

The Ancient Order of United Work
mems organization in this city bids fair, in
a very short time, to become the largest
single organization OF any kind in the ter
ritory. The A. o. U. w. is not, as
some suppose, connected with the knights
of Labor, though some of its members
belong to the latter order, but is distinct
organisation by itself, being connected, of
course, with the national order of the
same name. Seventy two new members
have Joined the order in this city within

The Burlington & Missouri Grade Work
While the contractors on the Cheyenne
& Burlington grade are getting in readi-
ness for active operations, but little as yet
has been done in the way of actual work.
A little blowing and scraping has been
done at a point about four miles southeast
of the city, yet comparatively little has as
yet been accomplished in the way of max
ing a start. There is vet considerable to
be done by the engineers before the con-
tractors know where they are or just how
to lay out their work, and this is being
attended to as fast as possible. By Tues
day mex work will begin in earnest and it
is apparent now from the drift of affairs
that it IS to be pushed with all possible
dispatch. and it is not at all improbable
that Cheyenne will hear the whistle of the
Cheyenne & Burlington engine aver be-
fore the LIST of next September.
